	abstract="{The present paper focuses on Patrick Hamilton’s Hangover Square in an attempt to analyse the novel from the perspective of pathography, arguing at the same time, as some scholars do, that pathography does not need to be limited to nonfictional texts, but can be extended to fiction, which can offer a character’s pathography as well as the patho(autobio)graphic record of the writer’s life. Patrick Hamilton’s experience is mirrored in most of his novels, particularly in his trilogy Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky; however, it seems that Hangover Square, published almost a decade after the last part of the trilogy came out, is the most pathographic of all his novels and alludes to all the tragic aspects of his life, including the car accident which severely injured him and marred his face, Hamilton’s hopeless relationships with women, mainly prostitutes, and, most importantly, his excessive consumption of alcohol, which gradually became gargantuan and finally led to his death from the cirrhosis of the liver.}",
